 Wallace & sons' Electric Carbon shop Destroyed by Ffre-LOss Twenty.five Thousand Dollars.
 Yesterday forenoon about 10:30 o'clock fire was discovered in the electric carbon shop of Wallace & Sons in Ansonia. The flames spread rapidly and soon the entire building was wrapped in flames. Eagle hose respond ed promptly to the alarm and soon had three streams on the fire. When the fire reached 8 portion of the building in which were stored many barrels of tar the flames shot upward to great height and the heat was intense. It was difficult to reach this part of the building, but the 6remen after an hours hard work had the fire under control. The weather was so cold that many of the fremen had their fingers frozen and others were drenched with water which froze on them. The building was of wood and was about 60 by 30 and two stories high. In the building was large amount of stock and valuable machinery, all of which was destroyed. The department worked hard and by their efforts succeeded in saving many adjacent buildings. The loss is estimated at from $20, 900 to $30,- GOO, all of which is covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been the accidental dropping ot piece of hot iron into pot of tar.

Washington Special: Minnesota has
again won magnificent recognition in the
East BY the standing OF two OF her sons in
the graduating clacs at Annapolis. Robert
Stocker OF st. Peter leads the class at the
naval academy, and +. W. Hibbs, anoth-
er Minnesota boy, follows him very close
". The coincidence is the talk OF
Washington. Congressman sayre ofTexas,
who is member OF the naval affairs com.
mittee, returned from Annapolis, where he
is daily making his official visit, and said:
This class is one Of the finest that ever
graduated from the academy, and you
may be sure there Is no sham about the
man who stands at the front OF the class.
The tests, which have grown severer
from year to year are fearful to
an outsider, and the young man who makea
q showing there must win by brains and
hard work, These young meE desc"ve the
hearty congratulations oftheir friends and
neighbors. Another congressman said:
This ching is growing iponotonous. We
expect to find sailors on the seaboard. and
can't be expected to 60 to the woods and
prairies OF the West Tor them, yet it looks
as II we should have to do SO. Minnesota
came down here recently and shp we'd us
how to build an army, aud she now aspires
to teach us how to build a navy.

would be entirely satisfactory Crop
been improved during the past week. but
the effect OF important strikes is f.lt moro
seriously every week. In spite oil the de-
Glue i'll production prices oi iron have been
weaker during the last week. Wheat
seems weaker, though prices after rising to
nearly 81 for red have not quite declined
TO last weeks level. Crop reports from all
directions are favorable, and the accumn-
lation OF $500 cars about Chicago still
loaded, because wheat room is scarce in
elevators, gives point to the observation
that II great quantity OF wheat seems stll
to be lett in farmers hands; but exports
bid fair to fall below those OF last June.
